Don’t You Wanna Be Relevant?

Wakefield trio, The Cribs have released a double A-side single from their Kapranos produced album 'Men’s Needs, Women’s Needs, Whatever'. Coupled with album opener 'Our Bovine Public', the new track 'Don’t You Wanna Be Relevant?’ is a classic Cribs' track with a familiar arsenal of jangly guitar riffs, new-waved drumbeats and sing-along chorus. The Jarman brothers aren't strikingly original, but yet, they are definitely masters in making infectious indie-rock music. Being their most listenable work yet, 'Men's Needs, Women's Needs, Whatever' is no doubt a Brit-punk gem with ridiculously catchy melody.
